GREAT! Antique Hand Carved Chinese Folk Art Old Man w/ Beard Cane Walking Stick
This winter I will be selling an OUTSTANDING collection of original. Rare and very fine antique Chinese canes and walking sticks. Each cane/walking stick was personally acquired while living IN CHINA(most collected in Shanghai Region) In 1996 and 1997. All pieces were either acquired in various Chinese antique stores or from vendors in weekend indoor and outdoor flea/ art markets. EVERY piece remains exactly as-collected on the ground in China in the mid-90s with original as found surfaces and finishes. NONE of the items in this PRIVATE collection have EVER been for sale or in the market in ANY venue since they were acquired. The collection has been viewed by curators/ appraisers at the Nelson Art Gallery in Kansas City. A RARE opportunity to acquire one of a kind early antique Chinese folk art illustrating prominent themes of cultural legend ... moreand symbolism. I will offer a selection of these canes at incredibly low starting prices weekly this winter. Have a look at the range of the collection which will be offered right here on eBay by viewing the last two photographs. Sorry. I didn't put both those shots in this listing so I could show more details of this canes multiple carvings- see any other current or past listing to view these collection photos) Check back weekly for the specific canes and walking sticks being offered. This is my NINTH Listing! Great antique. Hand carved, folk art Chinese wood cane of old man with beard just covered with carvings. Lots of surface carvings including detailed salamander climbing up the cane(about 1/3 down from handle) and a big, fierce, winding open mouth scaly dragon! The maker used knots in the wood and his method or relief carving to create a neat visual and tactile 3-D effect. This dragon wraps around the cane vertically rushing toward the top. Angled. Contrasting toned"collar" under the mans head/ beard section which is raised off the stem all around. LOTS of extra carving details and embellishments including several representations of what I think symbolize

The collection has been viewed by curators/ appraisers at the Nelson Art Gallery in Kansas City. A RARE opportunity to acquire one of a kind early antique Chinese folk art illustrating prominent themes of cultural ... morelegend and symbolism. This is last cane I am selling and is the most elaborately carved Chinese cane I saw anywhere in China. I have never seen anything even remotely like it anywhere. It is very tall and has an integral. Uniquely offset top! Very Finely carved- a bearded old wise man handle, two dragons, two fu dogs and more as follows: superb dragon flying in clouds dominates the center of the staff. It wraps in many directions completely surrounding the cane 360 degrees and is entirely relief carved with very detailed head. Tail and scales; this carving measures 6" tall and 3" wide! Both the head/open mouth and tail face up to the top of the cane. two highly detailed. Integral fu dogs on the staff; a large one with ball and a small one standing alone. The large one measuring 2" across wraps 2/3 around the cane, which when measured from end to end where it meets the staff measures a full 4" The smaller dog is around 1-1/4" Both are pictured. At the very cool. Detailed staff offset under the bearded wise old man is carved another flying dragon in clouds and a cluster of fruit/leaves. This dragon has wings spread and is carved in a VERY different style.

Antique Hand Carved Chinese Folk Art Wise Old Man w/ Beard STAFF Walking Stick
ONE OF THE FINAL PAIR OF CANES/WALKING STICKS FROM AN OUTSTANDING collection of original. Rare and very fine antique Chinese canes and walking sticks. Each cane/walking stick was personally acquired while living IN CHINA(most collected in Shanghai Region) In 1996 and 1997.

The collection has been viewed by curators/ appraisers at the Nelson Art Gallery in Kansas City. A RARE opportunity to acquire one of a kind early antique Chinese folk art illustrating prominent ... morethemes of cultural legend and symbolism. This is one of the last two canes I am selling and is one of my very best and favorites. It is tall. Large, wide, heavy, and, in a word, SPECTACULAR! Finely carved- a bearded old wise man with a staff riding what appears to be a doe. This one makes a BIG statement. It is 50" tall! The handle is a full. 8" x 8-1/2" x 3" wide. Yes, 3" wide! It is really a staff vs. cane or walking stick. Compare its scale to the other sticks in the collection as seen in the last photo. I"think" it is rendered from a single piece of wood. Look at the height and scale next to my front door. The appraiser for the Nelson Art Museum in Kansas City theorized due to its"majesty" and design. Perhaps it was for royalty or some specialty or symbolic use? Hard to describe in pics- staff has a very deep. Very thick dark maroon finish. INCREDIBLE FORM! Doe and rider are finely carved with the deer's crossed front legs pointing down at an angle(legs open in the center and either sailing on a cloud or touching the earth) With the does neck turned hard left; to complement this form, the shoulders and head of the old wise man
